Run as a museum by the Victoria Highland Games Association.
Our take
The Puget’s Sound Agricultural Company, a Hudson’s Bay Company subsidiary, built this Georgian-style farmhouse between 1853 and 1856 for farm bailiff Kenneth McKenzie and his large family. For a decade it was the social hub for Victoria settlers and Royal Navy officers from Esquimalt. Restored in the 1960s and furnished as Mrs. McKenzie might have liked it in the 1860s, it still holds some original McKenzie belongings.
